Detailed Description

A class representing a text.

A QwtText is a text including a set of attributes how to render it.

QwtTextEngine, QwtTextLabel

Member Typedef Documentation

Layout attributes.

Paint attributes.


Member Enumeration Documentation

Layout Attributes The layout attributes affects some aspects of the layout of the text.

Enumerator:
MinimumLayout 

Layout the text without its margins. This mode is useful if a text needs to be aligned accurately, like the tick labels of a scale. If QwtTextEngine::textMargins is not implemented for the format of the text, MinimumLayout has no effect.

Paint Attributes.

Font and color and background are optional attributes of a QwtText. The paint attributes hold the information, if they are set.

Enumerator:
PaintUsingTextFont 

The text has an individual font.

PaintUsingTextColor 

The text has an individual color.

PaintBackground 

The text has an individual background.

Text format.

The text format defines the QwtTextEngine, that is used to render the text.

See also:
QwtTextEngine, setTextEngine()
Enumerator:
AutoText 

The text format is determined using QwtTextEngine::mightRender for all available text engines in increasing order > PlainText. If none of the text engines can render the text is rendered like QwtText::PlainText.

PlainText 

Draw the text as it is, using a QwtPlainTextEngine.

RichText 

Use the Scribe framework (Qt Rich Text) to render the text.

MathMLText 

Use a MathML (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML) render engine to display the text. The Qwt MathML extension offers such an engine based on the MathML renderer of the Qt solutions package. To enable MathML support the following code needs to be added to the application:

QwtText::setTextEngine(QwtText::MathMLText, new QwtMathMLTextEngine()); 
TeXText 

Use a TeX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX) render engine to display the text ( not implemented yet ).

OtherFormat 

The number of text formats can be extended using setTextEngine. Formats >= QwtText::OtherFormat are not used by Qwt.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtText::QwtText ( const QString &  text = QString::null,
QwtText::TextFormat  textFormat = AutoText 
)

Member Function Documentation

QBrush QwtText::backgroundBrush ( ) const
Returns:
Background brush
See also:
setBackgroundBrush(), backgroundPen()

const QRectF &  rect 
) const

Draw a text into a rectangle

Parameters:
painterPainter
rectRectangle
QFont QwtText::font ( ) const

Return the font.

double QwtText::heightForWidth ( double  width,
const QFont &  defaultFont = QFont() 
) const

Find the height for a given width

Parameters:
defaultFontFont, used for the calculation if the text has no font
widthWidth
Returns:
Calculated height
bool QwtText::isEmpty ( ) const [inline]
Returns:
text().isEmpty()
bool QwtText::isNull ( ) const [inline]
Returns:
text().isNull()
bool QwtText::operator!= ( const QwtText other) const

Relational operator.

QwtText & QwtText::operator= ( const QwtText other)

Assignment operator.

bool QwtText::operator== ( const QwtText other) const

Relational operator.

int QwtText::renderFlags ( ) const
Returns:
Render flags
See also:
setRenderFlags()
void QwtText::setBackgroundBrush ( const QBrush &  brush)

Set the background brush

Parameters:
brushBackground brush
See also:
backgroundBrush(), setBackgroundPen()
void QwtText::setBackgroundPen ( const QPen &  pen)

Set the background pen

Parameters:
penBackground pen
See also:
backgroundPen(), setBackgroundBrush()
void QwtText::setColor ( const QColor &  color)

Set the pen color used for painting the text.

Parameters:
colorColor
Note:
Setting the color might have no effect, when the text contains control sequences for setting colors.
void QwtText::setFont ( const QFont &  font)

Set the font.

Parameters:
fontFont
Note:
Setting the font might have no effect, when the text contains control sequences for setting fonts.
void QwtText::setLayoutAttribute ( LayoutAttribute  attribute,
bool  on = true 
)

Change a layout attribute

Parameters:
attributeLayout attribute
onOn/Off
See also:
testLayoutAttribute()
void QwtText::setPaintAttribute ( PaintAttribute  attribute,
bool  on = true 
)

Change a paint attribute

Parameters:
attributePaint attribute
onOn/Off
Note:
Used by setFont(), setColor(), setBackgroundPen() and setBackgroundBrush()
See also:
testPaintAttribute()
void QwtText::setRenderFlags ( int  renderFlags)

Change the render flags.

The default setting is Qt::AlignCenter

Parameters:
renderFlagsBitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText
See also:
renderFlags(), QwtTextEngine::draw()
Note:
Some renderFlags might have no effect, depending on the text format.

textText content
textFormatText format

text()
void QwtText::setTextEngine ( QwtText::TextFormat  format,
QwtTextEngine engine 
) [static]

Assign/Replace a text engine for a text format

With setTextEngine it is possible to extend Qwt with other types of text formats.

For QwtText::PlainText it is not allowed to assign a engine == NULL.

Parameters:
formatText format
engineText engine
See also:
QwtMathMLTextEngine
Warning:
Using QwtText::AutoText does nothing.
bool QwtText::testLayoutAttribute ( LayoutAttribute  attribute) const

Test a layout attribute

Parameters:
attributeLayout attribute

true, if attribute is enabled
See also:
setLayoutAttribute()
bool QwtText::testPaintAttribute ( PaintAttribute  attribute) const

true, if attribute is enabled
See also:

See also:
setText()
const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine ( const QString &  text,
QwtText::TextFormat  format = AutoText 
) [static]

Find the text engine for a text format

In case of QwtText::AutoText the first text engine (beside QwtPlainTextEngine) is returned, where QwtTextEngine::mightRender returns true. If there is none QwtPlainTextEngine is returnd.

If no text engine is registered for the format QwtPlainTextEngine is returnd.

Parameters:
textText, needed in case of AutoText
formatText format
const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine ( QwtText::TextFormat  format) [static]

Find the text engine for a text format.

textEngine can be used to find out if a text format is supported.

Parameters:
formatText format
Returns:
The text engine, or NULL if no engine is available.

Find the height for a given width

Parameters:
defaultFontFont, used for the calculation if the text has no font
Returns:
Calculated height

Returns the size, that is needed to render text

Parameters:

Caluclated size
QColor QwtText::usedColor ( const QColor &  defaultColor) const

Return the color of the text, if it has one. Otherwise return defaultColor.
